You guys know how much I love Star Wars. I was raised by Star Wars. That is why I am an expert on gift ideas for Star Wars fans.

Star Wars was such a fringe love for the majority of my life, it is weird to see it as part of the Disney line up. If you can’t identify as a nerd by liking Star Wars, what nerdy things are left?

Although it feels weird to have so many new Star Wars buddies, one thing that is great about it is how many cool Star Wars products you can buy now. It isn’t just Star Wars books and movies any more! You can find a Star Wars themed anything now. To celebrate the expansion of the club, today’s gift guide is all about gift ideas for Star Wars fans.

Galactic Gift Ideas for Star Wars Fans

If you have a Star Wars lover in your life, these gift ideas for Star Wars fans will be perfect for Christmas, birthdays, and beyond.

Star Wars is not just for the gentlemen. Ladies love it too! These R2D2 Earings are perfect gift ideas for Star Wars fans of the female persuasion.

Blueprint designs always remind me of my brothers, who spend hours discussing the semantics of Star Wars spaceships. This X-Wing Mug would make a perfect gift for either of them.

“It’s a Trap,” Han! Bring Star Wars into the bathroom with this Han Solo Soap.

This Yoda Towel is adorable for kids of all ages. The same seller also carries other Star Wars hooded towel designs, which are perfect gift ideas for Star Wars fans shorter than four feet tall.

Now, you can not only wash with Han Solo, but you can smell like him too with the Han Solo Perfume.

So, you’re down to the last minute and you realize you don’t have a gift for your Star Wars-loving sibling. Never fear, the No Such Thing as Luck Print is an instant download you can print and wrap in about 30 seconds. As an extra bonus, it’s less than $3.

Sometimes you have to pretend to visit exotic places like Tatooine. The Welcome to Tatooine Shirt is an easy way to show where you went for your faux vacation. Disclosure: I really, really love this shirt.

Have a Star Wars fan who also wears socks? These Star Wars Socks will keep those feet from sweating and make an excellent stocking stuffer.

I love it when products take the idea behind something but transform it into something else. This Star Wars Mug has a cross-stitch theme, which is excellent.

Need more gift ideas for Star Wars fans who are female? This adorable BB8 Scarf is so cute, and would work for kids, too.

The Thrawn Trilogy book series is full cannon as far as I am concerned. Many of the elements of the prequel movies were pulled from this series of books (and numerous Star Wars games). Although I’m sure The Force Awakens won’t be exact to the book, I hope to see more influence from this series in the new movie.

This print would make another excellent last-minute gift for Star Wars fans. The Force Will Be With You Print is an instant digital download and costs less than $3.

I’m about to get all Geeky up in here. One of the things I love about most book lovers is that many of us are also major geeks/nerds/what have you. That is why I was super-excited to see the new 5 Friday Fandom meme hosted over at The Nerdy Girlie and Super Space Chick.

Growing up, pretty much all I did was read books, play video games, debate Star Wars, and have epic board-game battles. My family didn’t get into comic books that much, so comics weren’t part of my formative years, but I’m sure I would have loved them as a child as well if I had been exposed to them.

So, the topic for today is to state all the fandoms that made me who I am today. This list would have to include (links are affiliate links):

Star Wars

I would be nowhere without Star Wars. Even though the universe and series has tons of flaws, it will always be my first and foremost geeky love. As a child, we watched the movies (only the original 3 were out), acted out Star Wars scenes, read Star Wars books, played Star Wars video games, and basically did everything possible related to Star Wars.

Harry Potter

Pretty much every geek alive today was probably a part of this fandom. Harry Potter is the best. Aside from reading the books, I also used to read Harry Potter fan fiction, which is how I became introduced to Cassandra Clare, author of The Mortal Instruments series.

Robin Hood/King Arthur

Another fandom I loved as a child was Robin Hood. We had a video game where you played as Robin and worked to save Nottingham, which was a favorite. We also read tons of Robin Hood and Arthur stories as children and they featured heavily in our imaginative play (me and my two older brothers). We also had a seriously old King Arthur game where you got to search for the Holy Grail.

Zelda

Ocarina of Time was my favorite Zelda video game. We played for hours and days and played the game through dozens of times. To this day, I don’t know of any video game that I love more.

Monkey Island

Yes friends, this game was released on floppy disk.

Monkey Island has to be the best adventure video game of all time. It’s quippy, has pirates, there’s ghosts, women in government, really bad puns, and plenty of awesome. I would not be who I am today without Monkey Island.

Bonus: Ender’s Game

I don’t think Ender’s Gamewas super popular when I first read it, but it definitely shaped who I was as a person. As a young pre-teen and teen, Ender’s Game was practically a religion to me. From this book, I launched into reading many of the old classic science fiction authors like Isaac Asmov and Ray Bradburry.

Most of my childhood memories feature around video games, computer, games, and books. It was a pretty cool way to live. 🙂 What geeky fandoms have shaped you?
